Compromise in information security means unauthorized access or control over a system, network, or data, often resulting from exploiting vulnerabilities like software bugs, weak credentials, or misconfigurations.

Detecting and containing compromises requires monitoring for unusual activity, applying timely patches, and enforcing strong access controls to limit attacker movement and reduce the impact of exploited weaknesses.
